Pinchincha





Yesterday after school Matt and the kids and Michael (one of the interns with youth world) and I went up a mountain called Pinchincha. They have a gondola that takes you to the top and then you can hike around. What an incredible view! The day was pretty clear too, so we could see the surrounding mountains. It was so wonderful to get out of the city for a bit and frolic in God's beautiful creation. We hiked around for awhile, but at an altitude of 14,000+ feet we didn't push ourselves too much. Whenever I see mountains like this I am reminded of God's majesty and I wonder in awe at the creator of such beauty.

Awesome pictures. Great to see you out of the city....bet the air was clean, albeit a little thin at 14,000 feet!! :-) So fun to see Nick and Mikala with big smiles on their faces. The picture of the mountain with the clouds is breathtaking....God is an amazing artist!

Hey these pics are cool. Looks like you are enjoying the outdoors! How about a pic of Marlo studing her irregular verbs??? Does she cook in Ecudor? Or, er, does she cook?

See ya sooner than later!
